Create this look using the crumple tie-dye technique in one or more dye colors; the crumple effect is so easy to do on a sweatsuit. To get varying shades of the same color like @poppadyes, you can use an extra dye bottle to dilute some of your dye with water for a lighter shade, or you can try the ice dye technique and let the ice move and shift your dye powders as it melts! Pink spiral tie-dye sweatsuit from @itsdo_ordye Put a twist on a simple sweatsuit like @itsdo_ordye for a comfy look that’s still so chic. Try the spiral tie-dye technique with monochromatic tones or go wild with color if that’s more your style. The spiral look is perfect for any color combo you can think of! And as you can see, the results will have your new look spinning with all kinds of awesomeness. Neon tie-dye sweatsuit from @fashionnanny Everyone loves sweatsuits, even tiny tots! Create a matching set for yourself and your little one like @fashionnanny. We’re digging the wild, electric effects of these sweatsuits she made that combine the spiral tie-dye technique on the top with the stripes tie-dye technique on the legs.

The result is a fun balance of color and white space for a look you’ll love for years to come. Pink crumple tie-dye sweatsuit from @ajwildes At the end of the day, nothing feels better than kicking back in a comfy sweatsuit with a cold bevvy in hand like @ajwildes.

Pieces can be rough, as shown here, or rounded. It's totally your preference! Once you have your wood pieces, drill a hole the size of your wood pegs/sticks in the top center. This is where you will place the angel's head. Make sure wood peg/stick is cut to the length you would like the angel's neck to be. Apply The Ultimate Multi-Surface Adhesive to one end of the wood stick/peg. Wait 2 minutes for glue to start curing, then insert into base of foam ball. Apply The Ultimate to other end of peg, let set for 2 minutes then press into drilled hole in wood base. Let dry completely. Using a palette knife or plastic knife, spread True Snow over entire foam ball. Let dry. Draw wings on a piece of cardboard and cut out. Apply True Snow to both sides, letting dry after applying to each side. Once True Snow on wings has dried, apply a line of The Ultimate down the center of wings. Press the wings in place on the backside of the wood piece and let dry. Tip: Dry flat so weight of wood piece helps hold in place until completely dry. Cut greenery to fit around top of head like a halo, then glue in place with The Ultimate. Let dry, then enjoy!
